2011 SUISEKI EXHIBIT


2011 DEMONSTRATION

Greetings,
We just finished staging the Suiseki Study Group of Upstate New York's 2nd Annual Exhibit and it looks great!!!
The variety of Stones is quite impressive. The country of origin, as well as location of collection range from Japan, China, California, New York and PA. There are Stones collected by our members and Stones acquired from famous Suiseki dealers with historical connections. Some Stones are quiet and mysterious while some chose to display bright beautiful stones. Guests will appreciate the the varied methods of display as well. From a Stone placed on a Jita to Sand and water and even one on moss.
The range of styles is impressive too. Near Mountain, Far Mountain, Waterfall, Dry Waterfall, Plateau, Island, Cave, Figure, Pattern, Hut, Abstract and more.
The choice of Antique Suiban and Doban to Modern American versions make for a very interesting Exhibit!
This is a great time of year to enjoy Suiseki, I do hope those with a love of Trees and Stones will join us in appreciating the Arts we love.

Best Regards,
Mark
